Did St Mary’s really drop the public schools from their schedule this coming spring? Losing the recruiting battle against Spalding now ducking the public schools. St Mary’s heading to the B conference.
Recruiting battle, what recuriting battle? My kid went to St. Mary's in grade school, was a key player on elite team (trying to remain anonymous) and was aggressively recruited by 3 of the other power house schools but not St. Mary's. We don't need to be courted but it's definitely odd and it speaks to who else ends up at St. Mary's.
Recuriting to a HS doesn't take much. It's a couple phone calls, texts and a tour of the school. You only need 10 elite level kids per year knowing you're going to get another 20 who aren't elite of which some will end up contributing because they get better in HS, grow 8 inches or started late.
The worst part is they dropped the Fresh/Soph team 2 years ago. My kid wasn't going to play Fresh / Soph but it means 45+ are on JV and Varsity. It's a recipe to take a step back.
